MPXV infection induced changes in the expression of chemokine receptors on blood NK cells.

<p>PBMCs from different time points following MPXV inoculation were stained for NK markers and chemokine receptors as described in the material and methods. The chemokine receptor expression was revealed by gating on individual NK cell subsets. A) Expression kinetics of CXCR3, CCR5, CCR6, and CCR7 on NK cell subsets following MPXV inoculation. B) Representative analysis of CCR5 expression on NK cells at days 0 and day 7 post-inoculation. Statistical analyses were permutation re-sampling tests with Holm-adjusted p-values computed using R (*p<0.05).
